A packaging material made entirely of one type of plastic is referred to as monopolistic. Traditional flexible plastic packaging materials are constructed in layers to ensure low raw material consumption, resource conservation, and improved packaging line efficiency.
In contrast to packaging consisting of various materials, a mono material is a product made of a single substance or fiber. As a result, recycling is made considerably simpler because less energy is needed to divide or separate different components.
Additionally, the improved efficiency makes recycling both cheaper and faster. The most challenging material to recycle out of all those frequently used for packaging is plastic.
For instance, a bottle might be constructed from polyethene terephthalate (PET), high-density polyethene (HDPE), or even general-purpose polystyrene (PS). Before they may be mechanically recycled, these polymers must be separated; otherwise, they will be downcycled rather than recycled.
Huhtamaki-specific and revolutionary blueloop developments are both novel. They provide recyclability while maintaining the affordability and protection of the product. The power of three is this.
The new product will help consumers fulfill promises they’ve made to use solely recyclable, biodegradable, or reusable packaging and will be in line with future legislative trends in the EU and elsewhere.
Huhtamaki set out to create packaging that was entirely recyclable, compostable, or reused. Several food and essential goods manufacturers have made similar commitments.
Three eco-friendly items in single-material flexible packaging will be released by Huhtamaki. In comparison to the complicated, multilayered materials they are meant to replace, they are made to be recyclable and require fewer materials.
According to the business, the new items combine the biggest amount of mono-material on the market. Paper, PE (polyethylene), and PP (polypropylene) Retort are the three alternate materials offered by Huhtamaki’s innovative innovation for mono-material flexible packaging.
The new materials offer a mono-material share of at least 90% for paper and PP and up to 95% for PE. Across its entire production base, Huhtamaki has invested in new production technology, creating a worldwide supply capability for the new innovations.
Outstanding oxygen and water vapor barrier performance is guaranteed by the Toppan manufacturing process and material composition.
Low adsorption also prevents loss of flavor and quality, and it is feasible to prevent product weight loss during long-term storage. Because there is no aluminum film present, there is a roughly 5% reduction in CO2 emissions during package production, which increases recyclability.
The GAEA standard packaging material for this product has undergone a thorough redesign to comply with the most recent recycling regulations while retaining its excellent barrier qualities.
The packaging’s framework underwent a comprehensive makeover. A smooth transition from a conventional film formulation to a recyclable one with a higher environmental profile was made possible by the new recyclable PP-mono-material film that was eventually produced.
The Global Mono-material Plastic Packaging market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
By developing a brand-new reuse packaging concept, Henkel and Mondi, a pioneer in packaging and paper worldwide, are assisting consumers in dishwashing more responsibly. The two businesses collaborated on a packaging option that enables refilling plastic bottles using flexible pouches for Henkel’s hand dishwashing solutions.
This helps Henkel achieve its sustainability goals of reducing the amount of virgin plastic made from fossil fuels by 50% and making all of its packaging recyclable or reusable.
Customers can purchase a new keep-at-home refillable pump dispenser from Mondi that comes with refills in a thin, one-material pouch. Every time it replaces hard plastic bottles, the flexible stand-up pouch cuts plastic use by 70% and is simple to recycle in areas with established recycling infrastructure.
The pouch entirely empties thanks to its curved form, leaving no residue, and is convenient and lighter to carry home. It offers retailers appealing and eye-catching on-shelf appeal while also expressing all the brand information, including sustainability benefits. It is soft touch with a strong base so it can stand in-store.
